Oh no, don't give me any more ideas!

nah... just trying to make sure I understood. You gotta know when you're in Linux - you're forging a path that only other linux people dared to tread

I see, no, just trying to get it to work in Windows. I also just realised Samsung sold off their printing division in 2016, so basically I've been trying to make a deprecated printer talk to Windows through a deprecated router through deprecated software...

The other might be your easier option. Get it working in CUPS and let Windows talk to the CUPS server. As long as your printer speaks postscript, you should be able to set it up as a generic postscript printer in Windows.
